Second chance saloon for Shevchenko

WHEN AC Milan pair Andriy Shevchenko and Kakha Kaladze line up in the Champions League final against Juventus tonight they will achieve a goal that once appeared to have eluded them.

Striker Shevchenko and defender Kaladze were part of the Dynamo Kiev team of the late 1990's that was the last from Eastern Europe to make a serious impression in the Champions League, reaching the semi-finals in 1999.

"At Dynamo we had a great team with Andriy but we couldn't make it to the final and now we are both so happy to be there with Milan," says Georgian international Kaladze.
